The Panthers move on to the semifinals, and will play second-seeded

scoring 17 points after hitting five three-point shots.
Senior Ceciley Chisholm (Lexington, Mass.) contributed 12 points
for Endicott, making all three shots she took and converting 6-of-7

Plymouth State never trailed in the game and held a double-digit
lead most of the game. It was a 13-3 Panther advantage before
the game was five minutes old, and PSU got the lead up to 18
points, 33-15, with just under eight minutes to play in the first
half. The Panthers maintained the 18-point margin at
halftime, 37-19.

Endicott chipped away at the deficit in the second half, getting
the margin under 10 points (44-35) with 12 and a half minutes on
the clock. The Gulls were within five points, 49-44, with
nine minutes to play, but PSU answered with a 7-1 run to get the
margin back up to double figures, 56-45. Endicott closed to
within eight points with less than two minutes remaining, but the
clock ran out of the comeback attempt.
